Pros

Free Catered Lunch on Mondays Cool Office Space and Location Police Officer Customers are Great Travel Opportunities if that's your thing

Cons

The reality is that the company hired people on the false pretense that the C-Level executives at the helm have been successful in founding other companies. That's a lie. So beware of that sales pitch. The company then pressured their employees who were tricked to work for them to vote Flock as one of Atlanta's Best Places to Work, and then fired 25% of the staff within mere days after. One person that was fired had only been there for 3 weeks. One person had just gotten a promotion the day prior. On one team, they fired every single minority. On top of that restructuring, leadership has changed the job descriptions and roles of nearly every employee without them being part of that conversation. They have cut their pay. They expect their employees to fund the company's travel on their personal credit cards to the tunes of $1000s of dollars and be okay with being reimbursed 1 week later. They do not compensate according to industry standards (e.g. do not pay for sales leads). They changed the commission plan 3x within 3 months. Leaders micro-manage and babysit your every move, focusing on activity and not strategic results. But it doesn't really even matter because even your top employee can't do what they're asking for - to grow the company by 700% in 1 year! Quotas are numbers that are so impossible, they're like imaginary numbers. If you want to truly experience what a toxic work environment looks like, come join the Flock!!

Pros

-Hands-on, bought in Executive Leadership. There are 2 Founders, including the CEO, still leading the company. C-suite is transparent, direct, responsive, empathetic and always willing to help. This goes for any employee that reaches out -Top Tier investors like a16z and Tiger Direct -Products make a tangible impact on society, improving the safety and security of the communities that Flock supports. There are countless stories per day involving preventing shootings, recovering stolen vehicles and missing children, returning the elderly to their families, apprehending criminals who started forest fires and more -Optimal hiring profile, focusing on kind, gritty individuals that do not let the definition of their roles get in the way of success, are highly responsive and just want to be successful. It is impressive that Flock has maintain this culture at scale -Career development is a focus area. Leaders ask their employees about their goals and present realistic career paths proactively, as does People Strategy

Cons

-Flock is fast paced and constantly changing. New products, new markets, etc. If you are not energized by running towards a challenge in an environment focused on building, not maintaining, this may not be the right culture for you

Pros

Steady hours and solid experience building out regional tracking networks. You get to work independently on the ground most of the time.

Cons

Massive scope creep with zero additional compensation. They increased the physical labor requirements significantly—shifting from digging standard 30-inch holes to digging 42-48 inch deep holes reinforced with rebar and four bags of concrete—while keeping the pay exactly the same.On top of that, logistics are awful. They closed down local supply hubs, forcing massive weekly driving distances just to fetch basic equipment, yet scheduling was so uncoordinated it took them weeks to stop assigning full workloads on supply-run days.Supervisors act like mindless "company men." I was left on read while experiencing severe heat exhaustion symptoms in 100+ degree heat just so a supervisor could check daily production metrics. They treat field techs like disposable machinery, expect brutal days with hours of exhausting driving through remote territories, and offer zero operational support. Even after you leave, offboarding is broken; internal IT support analysts ignore their own logistics vendors, leaving automated systems to spam former employees for weeks about equipment they don't have.
